[QUOTE="happybob, post: 275591, member: 4724"] Maybe your area supplemental committee will find a way to make the changes all the members agree on in that supplements area. The 40 hours to twenty hours can't be the way to figuere. If you say full time is only 40 hours, and parttime is 20 hours, I disagree. The parttimer guarantee is 3.5 not 4. In my Local, parttimers do pay less dues than fulltimers. It's based on the average wage of all parttimers, and the same for fulltimers. I've always had a problem with the parttimers having to pay such a high rate. Instead of averageing the hourly wage for all parttimers, ewach individual should pay his dues based on his/her hourly rate. I've tried to have this addressed at our local, but the union wont stand for such a large decrease in the amount they take in every month, so naturally they stack the union hall with non-upsers when the vote comes up to change the formula. But, back to the seniority issue. I can only say that I do support the current way of doing things in my area. I respect the mebers that came before me, and will always strive to understand the reasoning behind thier thinking of how things whould best be handled then and going forward. Fulltimers have thier seniority dates for full time work performed, and parttimers have thier seniority date for the work they have performed. When that part time employee starts doing the same work I perform then that should be thier new seniroity date. Time of service should always be considered in the amount of vacation you get to take. What will work in your area will have to be put to a vote of all the members, and in the end, I would hope, be respected by the minority. [/QUOTE]
